Major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates within the 30 days following surgery tracked from time since coronary stent placement of the stented cohort (dashed lines) compared to their matched pair within the non-stented cohort (solid line) over a 2 year period. The stented cohort is stratified by type of stent, bare-metal or drug-eluting.
MACE = Major Adverse Cardiac Events; DES = Drug-Eluting Stent; BMS = Bare Metal Stent.
Shaded area represents 95% confidence interval around the risk.
